    Anyone get the Breton conversion?

    They offer the 4 door conversion in 2 different kits. 1 comes with 4 doors, 1 comes with no doors. Since I already had 2 front doors in good condition and 2 used rear doors were cheap, I saved money and went with the no doors kit. Mike

    Humvee aftermarket Jack

    If you are fine with the standard screw scissor jack I saw a few up for auction at $100 and under including shipping. I would really like the hydraulic version, but those are a bit pricey. Mike

    Anyone get the Breton conversion?

    I was wondering if anyone has gotten the 4 door conversion kit that comes without doors. Mainly whether it comes with the hinges to mount on the body or not. They were a little quick getting mine made and shipped, and I should be receiving it tomorrow. The only problem is the seller I bought...

    M998 Noise issue

    With all of the noises my truck makes I have no clue what's normal, just that it still runs fine. Until it dies I'm just going to assume that cacophony of loud noises is normal lol. Mike

    Battery replacement ,lithium iron phosphate

    Most batteries in the lithium ion family don't like to be overly discharged. If you drain a cell below a certain voltage it usually becomes damaged, so you need a protection circuit to try and prevent that. Mike

    Battery tray build -Clearance question

    Best way would be to make a drawing with marks on a line from the a-arm pivot point to the shock mount, the center of the spring perch, and the center of the tire. Then measure each gap between the spring coils and add it up, and also measure the amount of shock shaft showing. Do a little math...

    Hella h4 conversion or truck-lite style led?

    Ok, got the cibies and 75w bulbs installed. A huge improvement over stock. I didn't do a comparison against the LED units I had installed which are fairly bright, but the fact that these aren't blue means I can see so much better. Might upgrade to the 100w bulbs, but for now I'm happy. Thanks guys!

    Hella h4 conversion or truck-lite style led?

    I will give one of the h4 conversions a shot. I need a lot of light that isn't blue. The beam on these morimoto sealed7 1.0 units isn't that bad, but it's too blue which makes them harder for me to see with. Mike

    Hella h4 conversion or truck-lite style led?

    I won't be putting spotlights in as headlights, seems a bit rude to the other drivers lol. I was mainly looking at the truck-lite that has the split across the center. Mike

    M998 wiper washer question?

    Yeah, give it a shot with the engine off so you can hopefully hear if the pump is running or not. Might take a few seconds before you get anything out of the nozzles. If the pump is running but nothing comes out check the hoses and make sure the nozzles aren't clogged. Mike

    Hella h4 conversion or truck-lite style led?

    Since the retrofit source had the morimoto sealed7 1.0 on clearance for $75 each I said what the **** and got a pair. I have used morimoto hid projectors to retrofit other vehicles with great results, but these led units left me unimpressed. Hopefully their 2.0 version is better, but I'm not...

    Trans slip or something else?

    I should also mention it did it at least 1 other time that trip. On the brake for 1 second then right back to the gas and chshhhh. Sounded like it was under and not in front... But with all the noise these trucks make it's hard to be certain lol. Mike

    Trans slip or something else?

    So I was driving my 998 last night around 35 and I went to stop but quickly changed my mind and went back to the gas. When I did that I heard a weird chshhh for a second. For a second I thought a truck with airbrakes was nearby. Was this the trans slipping, or some weird injector system noise...

    HUMVEE completely dead! Bad PCB or ????

    If you do have burned traces on the ribbon just solder a wire in instead of fixing the trace. Fixing flex is always dodgy and unpredictable. Mike

    Battery disconnect switch that fits? M998

    Current only flows in the 12v circuit when the 12v master is on. The current required to energize the relay is minimal, a couple hundred milliamps, but I would still switch it off when you park it. The easiest way is if you have a switch panel for your accessories just make the first switch the...
